Top Scoring Players on Fantasy Football (Week 11)
Well, folkx, we are at that crucial period in the Fantasy Football season, and depending on the type of league you're in, you're down to either the final five weeks of the regular season, or the final four weeks. In a standard league, Week 11 begins the final five weeks of the regular season, though some leagues may only allow 14 regular season matchups and a three week playoffs that ends on Week 17. By this point, any and all trade deadlines have pretty much passed, so whatever team you have is yours in the long haul. If you have a pretty strong record by this point, the playoffs are in your future. If you're in the middle of the pack, hit the waiver wires. Anything worse, be prepared for that consolation tournament.
